Amanda Holden has opened up about how she was almost forced to pull out of Britain's Got Talent when her daughter was hospitalised with a life-threatening bacterial infection
Amanda Holden was almost forced to pull out of Britain’s Got Talent amid her daughter’s terrifying mystery illness.
Amanda explained how she rushed her daughter to a tropical disease hospital, after being told Lexi was “in danger of contracting sepsis ”. There, the youngster was immediately placed on a drip and her worried parents stayed by her bedside for five days. Unbeknownst to the public, the iconic judge was juggling caring for her daughter while putting on a TV performance night after night. Recalling the exhausting week, she said: “I was getting about two hours’ sleep a night, but all I cared about was Lexi getting better.”
Talking about the decision to share Lexi’s story, Amanda described how her daughter was hoping to “help raise awareness” about the condition, which they think she caught from pre-washed supermarket lettuce. The Heart Radio presenter warned: “I urge everyone to forensically wash their fruit and veg.”
